Chicago Fire’s Jhon Duran on European Teams Radar

But it is unlikely that United will have a free run for the right-sided attacker, given that rivals Liverpool and Chelsea are both also on the scene. Liverpool signed Duran’s international teammate Luis Diaz in January and are tracking the Fire winger.

Meanwhile, Chelsea signed Fire goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina over the summer, so already have a line of communication open.

Fire head coach Ezra Hendrickson is well aware of the transfer interest in his young star and is not in the least bit surprised.

“I certainly hope that he’s with us next year. But you know, when you are a player of that caliber and that talent at such a young age, I would be surprised if teams, especially European teams weren’t looking or weren’t paying attention,” Hendrickson said earlier this month.
